Pattern Altitude
I hadn't seen this video before. Seems like a good example of some things that maybe should have been planned out better or maybe not done under the current conditions. Lucky guy. Good video!
In my training my instructor had me takeoff with only a 6 KT direct tailwind in a cessna 172 on a 3500' runway. I used almost every inch and really learned to respect tailwinds. Nothing like hearing the stall warning go on and off while trying to get out of ground effect.
